PROSPECTUS OF
THE GONZALES INQUIRER.
Believing the time has arrived in the town
of Gonzales, surrounded as it is by the wealthy
farmers in Gonzales county, for the establish-
ment of a weekly journal at tho county-site—
through, or near which, the San Antonio and
Gulf Railroad will pass, and in a section of
country ♦isurpasaed for beauty of scenery,
fertility of soil and salubrity of climate in the
State of Texas—it is proposed to establish at
the above named place, a newspaper, to be
known by the toame of the " Gonzales Inqui-
rer," devoted to Agriculture, Literature, the
Mechanic Arts, Commercial Interests, and the
News of the day.
The Inquirer will be independent in politics,
but firm and decided in the advocacy of the
great principles of our republican government,
so ably elucidated in the administrations of
Washington and Jefferson; and will especially
maintain that sound and enlightened national
policy of sustaining our Southern institutions,
whicn the people of Texas, in conjunction with
her sister States of the South, have ever held
sacred, as guaranteed to them by the constitu-
tion of the United States. And while we claim
to havo had some experience as editor and
publisher of a public journal, we shall, at the
same time, bring to its aid the poetic and lite-
rary talent of able writers, with whose ability
as correspondents we are well advised; and at
the same time trust that the Inquirer will be
so judiciously conducted as to encourage and
bring to its support contributors from tho Em-
pire State of the South on education, agricul-
ture and internal improvements.
While, then, we unfurl our banner in one'of
the most thriving and delightful villages in the
State, and assiduously devote our energies and
time to make the Inquirer what the develop-
ments of tho country demand, and its appear-
ance equal to any journal in the South, wo shall
expect proportionate encouragement from the
people of Texas, than whom no citizc
citizens in the
nion manifest a livelier interest in whatever
pertains to the maintenance of morality, the
cause of education and the perpetuity of repub-
lican institutions.
TERMS:
The Inquirer will be published weekly, on
an imperial sheet of ñne paper, neatly execu-
ted, for $8 00, if paid in advance; $3 60, if
not paid within six months; or $4 00, at the
expiration of the year.
All communications for the Inquirer must be
addressed to the Editor, free of postage.

Grand Literary and Artistic Combination.
Arrangements have been made to furnish the
Knickerbocker Magazine, the Home Journal, and
the New York Musical World and Times, to now
subscribers, for fivo dollars a year! This is cheap
literature, with a vengeance. Tho Knickerbocker
is $3 per annum; the Home Journal, at $2, and
the Musiool World and Times, $3; making $8 a
year at the usual rates. That threo such works
can be obtained for fivo dollars a year, is a feet truly
worthy the Caloric age, which is just now being
ushered in. Of the Knickerbocker Magazine, edit-
ed by Lewis Gaylord Clark, it is unnecessary to
speak. For twenty years it has been the most
genial, humorous, and spicy "monthly" in the
world; and the present volume will bo better thfin
any which preceded it The Home Journal, edited
by Geo. P. Morris, and N. P. Willis, is well known
as the best family newspaper in America; and the
Musical World and Time , edited by Richard Borres
Willis, with Lowell Mason, Geo. H. Curits, Thomas
Hastings, Mra. B. Bradbury, Geo. F. Root and
other musical writers contributing; and which gives,
among other things, over $26 worth of music and
a full course of instructipn in harmony annually is
the very best musical journal ever published.
These three publications will post a family up in
regard to nearly everything worth knowing; Art,
Scionce, Literture; Music, Painting, Sculpture:
Intentions, Discoveries; Wit Humor, Fancy, Sen-
timent; the Newest Fashiona and other attractions
for Ladies; Choice New Music for the Sabbath, the

VOLUME FOR 1853.
THE great success of the last volume of " Gra
ham's Maoazink," owing to the large increase of
sterling reading matter, emboldens the publisher to
attempt more energetic oB'orts for the new year.
We shall still so conduct the Magazine as to meet
the wants and wishes of a very large body of '
people, who now begin to look to periodical wo:
for the corrcct and various information, which was
previously sought for in heavy volumes and out of
the way libraries.
We believe we can so conduct this Magazine, that
while it will meet tho wishes of the lovers of agree-
able literature, it shall still impart, in scientific arti-
cles, and articles of general utility, information that
will be valuable and dosirablo to many. In pursu-
ance of this purpose, we shall place under the eyes
of our readers not alone articles of high merit, writ-
ten to order by our well-known corps of contribu-
tors, but shall draw upon the first literature of tho
Old World—as success and increased circulation
may enable us still further to increase the number of
pages of Graham—so that we shall present the very
best articles that are published abroad, as well sis
those that are written expressly for us at home.
We trust that this effort to extend tbe usefidness of
the Magazine, will be met by that continuance of
favor from our readers which has cheered us as ed-
itor of the work for moro than thirteen years, and
that the Magazine whose foundation was laid in 1826
may, in 1853, be among the ablest as it is the oldest
Magazine in America.
The New Volume of Graham commences regular-
ly with the January number, and we take this oc-
casion to solicit from single subscribers and clubs,
.whose subscriptions expire, a continuance of their
encouraging company for another year.
NO PUFFING AND HUMBUG.
The character of " Graham^ Magazxok" is I
well established, among readers of aPblasses,
render necessary the extravagant self-laudatii
which has become tho common stock in trade
every obscure and reckless adventurer, as well as
works whose merit should induce their publish)
to abandon the silly and sickning practice.
"GRAHAM" MUST STAND OR FALL ON-
OWN MERITS.
The Opinions of its Readers and the Press of tl
United States are'éonfidently relied upon, as of
more value and efficiency than any self praise,;
to these we leave tho work for a just estimation <
its worth.
